Annis Rallis turns "Fake Love" into a country-rock powerhouse

Annis Rallis, the North East singer-songwriter, is back with a bold new single titled "Fake Love." This track presents a powerful tale of betrayal set against a captivating country-rock backdrop, enriched with enough pop polish to appeal across genres. From the very first strum, Rallis draws listeners into her story, which is raw, honest, and painfully relatable. At the heart of the song is Rallis's voice and a blend of ache, soulfulness, and command. She doesn't just sing the lyrics; she embodies them. "Every sound, every word, came from real experience," Rallis shares, and you feel her authenticity. The pain is tangible, yet so is the strength.

The magic of "Fake Love" lies in its duality; it invites you to dance while simultaneously encouraging introspection. With driving drums, sharp electric guitar riffs by Tom Grimm, and a solid rhythm section featuring Robert Lindemann on bass and Jochen Weiss on drums and production, the track simmers with emotional tension. The demo production, handled by Yanik Bleuert and Johannes Weik, establishes a sound that feels both cinematic and intimate.

Since her blog debut with Éna Astéri in September 2024, Rallis has been steadily building her presence, performing in musical theatre productions across Europe, such as "Dirty Dancing" and "Rock of Ages," while also showcasing her singer-songwriter talent at local venues, including Stack Newcastle. "Fake Love" marks a turning point in her career—a confident, fully realized release that demands attention. The single is out now and is a must-listen for fans of genuine storytelling, genre-blending, and powerful female vocals.
